Got my blood work results back. I am not in menapause. Dr. said it was kinda hard to say if I am in perimenapause because evidently a woman's cycle consists of four stages and I was in between two stages. I do have an appointment to have a papsmear done. Something is definately going on. Aunt Flo was a week late for her visit and then she had the nerve to stay and linger on for nine days! My mother had cervical cancer at the age of 41 so naturally this is becoming a concern for me. Please keep me in your prayers everyone. Thanks, melissa (IwillseekHim)

To Memaw and Pink Carnations I hope and pray that AF is less troublesome for you both.
To IwillSeekHim, that your concerns will be unfounded.
Thankyou all for your help and prayers I will be seeing my doc later this afternoon. I have my list which seems to grow daily!

After sorting out my medication problems for pain relief I asked the doc about the power surges and he wants me to try Homoeopathy. So I have been given something called Sepia, its too early to tell yet as I only took one last night and as I have to take them with a gap of 15 minutes each side without a drink I shall do that shortly. I haven't had my quota of cups of tea yet to wake me up!
No major power surges as yet but the feeling I am having one is there but it doesn't amount to much, all sounds promising I hope.

Hot tea, decaf (I really like the tension tamer stuff), soft instrumental music (I generally like country & rock, but the soft music does work) about two hours before bedtime, an hour or so of silence - especially no TV or computer) just before bed. Those seem to help, but don't always work for me.

I have some trouble sleeping then too. I find reading in bed helps me relax, and not something too interesting or suspenseful either, lol .

I have trouble staying asleep, I can fall right out but then a couple of hours later I'm wide awake and roaming the house.

Same here. Sometime between 5 and 6 am I usually give up and start the coffee. That wouldn't be a bad time to get up if I didn't work evenings.

I wake up every few hours too. Dr put me on some med that is suppose to help but it doesn't.

It doesn't matter if I go to bed at 8PM or midnight....I'm up roaming the house.
Then around 10AM I am so bone tired I can barely stay awake.
I usually perk up around noon, then come 2PM I have a hard time staying awake again.
I really miss the good old days of a solid night sleep and waking refreshed.

My doctor asked me to try taking benadryl when I go to bed to help me stay asleep. It works okay, but I'm very groggy in the morning so there's a trade-off.
I don't sleep very well before a period, but once that period starts - if I can get the cramps under control - I could sleep for 24 hours straight. That lasts about 3 days and then it's back to restless nights and napping all night long.

Yeah, I'm kind of like that too - one really good nights sleep & then a few nights not so good, & then back again. I've also discovered that trying to change my sleep time is just not working at this age. I need to report in an hour earlier than usual on Mondays & Tuesdays. Going to bed an hour early has yet to work. I still can't go to sleep even though my body is tired enough from working a longer day.
If anyone ever figures out the right amount of benadryl to take, I think we all may be taking shots so we can fall asleep! k
